Oh well, that's flying for you.

Along those lines, I think the most important thing to take on any trip
in a small plane is a fully-charged credit card. It can buy you fuel,
emergency repairs, dinner (or a hotel room) while you wait out weather,
a rental car, or an airline ticket.

I can't think of anything else which packs so much aviation safety into
such a small package :-)
